Game Controller Management System

Description: A relatively simple hack. I was frustrated with the area above my radiator being useless, and due to an awesome sale, I got two SIGNUMS for about 12 dollars CAD total.

I ended up using only one of them, and I was looking at other uses for it. Then I realized that I was storing most of the stuff for my Xbox 360 in a cardboard box, and tried to see if the controller would fit the rack. It fit perfectly.

So I just mounted the posts to an old shelf, and installed the SIGNUM opposite to how it normally would be. Had it been under my table, it would have been upside down.

Does anyone know if the controllers would fit if it was attached under a shelf, as intended?I am headed to Ikea this weekend and plan to buy a long LACK shelf for above my entertainment stand. I would love to attach one or two of these under it for all of our controllers!

The controllers are smooth plastic and any slight bump would probably make them slide off. Turning it upside down gives the front and back of the shelf a way to help prevent this. Just my thoughts though.

I keep my controllers in a drawer in my coffee table but keep the chargers upstairs in my office closet. The metal frame shelfs let the controller slide around when I am looking for something.

Don’t be silly Anon2 – a tray like this can keep your cables out from lying around and hanging off the shelf, and it can keep your controllers up off of the countertop so you can use the flat part of the surface for something else – like games or DVDs, you know?
